I gotta say your outlook is brill, and your help is priceless. You have no idea how much you have helped me .info like this is almost impossible to garner from anyone locally as they just see me as competition. If im ever up your way ill buy you dinner ! I've just bought all my first kit for my venture all on your advice ! so thank you! thank you ! thank you!
I always find the most satisfying thing about these types of jobs is when the customer is over the moon with the end result. Top work as always Ashley 👍
Thanks bud, cant imagine how time consuming it is to video record all your work, appreciate it. I wonder how much people on here charge to just jet wash the driveway. I would of charge that one about £140 but that probably really cheap compared to others. Not including sealing
You're the guy who made me take the plunge and start my own company Window/Gutter cleaning/HandyMan. Bit daunting at first because customers just stand and watch you, and water fed pole cleaning in this heat is sketchy (Can go good, can go bad) but happy I am doing it. Keep up the videos. PS: Wanna buy me another van? Mine is a piece of s**t haha
I’m glad you find my channel useful! With each job you are building your business and your reputation. Keep it up and a new van will come before long!😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Yeah had a few jobs already with Window cleaning, Painting & Decorating and I am even fitting a lady a new bath panel and Pop & Click waste on her bath in the next week. I started window cleaning thinking it was gonna be cheap, yeah no water fed pole is not cheap haha but got to invest to build it up. Keep uploading so I can steal your tips ;)
Hi Ash, I love to do a full clean, very satisfying. Need to change my brush for the soffits and my cheap GF22 pole. Not going to stretch to a himod though lol. Stay safe mate 👍🏻
Hi Ash, another informative video. I feel the climate effects how we work, for example, where I live, it's damp and cold ( North West pennine region). The gutter vac would be unsuitable, as the soil is always boggy , full of weeds. Ladders and bucket the best way up here. Always seems to be a nice day were you are, im sure you'll agree , it certainly helps . One thing Ash, a customer recently told me about a brushing in grout for the drives, im assuming you use kiln , dried sand, have you considered something quite effective, such as Geo fix, or east joint? These are resin based, and do a much better job of keeping weeds at bay. They can also be applied in wet conditions.
Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you find my channel useful. I actually find the gutter vac prefers it when the muck in the gutter is wet, it can bit trickier when it’s dry and crusty like that. Yes, I use kiln dry sand for the block paving. There are other products available, and I have tried some of these, but they also come at greater cost. So I just offer the sealant as the overall protective solution for the paving.😃👍🏼
Hi ash.thanks for your videos you have help me expand to new things with my gardening business. I've seen your videos where your using the ionic constant flow cleaning gutters ect with the spray nozzle from da components do you think the Gardiner back pack will work using the same nozzle? Many thanks Lee
Spraying the sealer on is a much quicker process and personally i think its a better way of applying it as your not disturbing the sand and get better even coverage, but when it comes to block paving i really don't think the sealer is necessary i advise my customers against it, as there expectations of sealer is that it will stop moss weeds etc etc and that simply isn't true 👍
Maybe that’s because you are spraying it instead of rolling it? Also I recommend applying weed killer at least a week before it is cleaned. It’s never going to be a 100% guarantee that you won’t get a weed, but Resiblock is a great sealant, for sure. Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼
Hi ash Do you have a link for the nlite square edge brush you was using for the gutters and soffit cleaning please as I can only fine the nlite radius one with the long green bristles. Cheers buddy. 👍
They do seem a bit hard to come by. Here is one: www.cleaningspot.co.uk/water-fed-equipment/water-fed-poles/waterfed_pole_brushes/unger-hiflo-nlite-rectangular-brush-27cm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj4SJx4217AIVRbDtCh13EQTUEAQYAyABEgI8CvD_BwE
When the muck in the gutter is so dry it can be a little tricky. You may need to kind of break it up into smaller pieces as you go so the machine can suck it up. It’s easier when it’s wet really.😃👍🏼
Hi AE Macintosh (my brother into theocracy) I noticed you are using the atom gutter machine, I'm still using a ladder to clean out gutters, would you recommend the atom as I dont want go spend losds but I'm thinking of buying one. Would appreciate your view? Terry Cordery
The Atom is a great multi purpose tool. I get great feedback on it from others in the industry also. The other bigger machines definitely have some great advantages if you are doing a lot of gutter cleaning, but lots of window cleaners love the Atom because it is neat and compact.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh sorry 1 more question...see you are using the pick up from a water container, is the pick up able to draw more water than an outide tap?

Thanks! Take care.😃👍🏼
Great video Ashley 👍 keep them coming ☺️
Thanks! There are plenty more where that came from.😆👍🏼
Thanks bud, cant imagine how time consuming it is to video record all your work, appreciate it.
I wonder how much people on here charge to just jet wash the driveway. I would of charge that one about £140 but that probably really cheap compared to others. Not including sealing
I charge per square meter for pressure washing and I do a separate price for sealant so the customer can choose to have it or not.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I remember watching a video of your measuring, thanks again and keep up the good work, it motivates me to be better.
Thanks for your comments! All my videos are in separate playlists on my channel if you want to find them again.😃👍🏼
Nice results looks great love the mop flip at the end lol
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Well done bud. Great video again. Keep up the good work

Sounds like you are a real multi-tasker. Love it! I would like to talk more about budget wfp set ups.😃👍🏼
fantastic video,
Thanks.😎👍🏼
Awesome run through!
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Hi Ash,
I love to do a full clean, very satisfying.
Need to change my brush for the soffits and my cheap GF22 pole.
Not going to stretch to a himod though lol.
Stay safe mate 👍🏻
Thanks. I also use a fixed head, not a swivel for fascias. I’ve been trying a Gardiner flocked brush which is pretty good too.😃👍🏼
Looking at the gardiner brushes and the unger that you use. I’m considering a phantom 30 and as a back up a boss 25.
Sounds great!😃👍🏼
Brilliant work proper proffesional
Thanks!👌🏼😃👍🏼

Great work, most professional I've seen. Have you ever had to connect to a cold water outlet under sink? Cheers
Great! Many thanks. I have never had to resort to a water connection under a sink, but I have done an internal tap a couple of times.😉👍🏼
@@aemackintosh always wondered where you got your water from! Lol
Bravo maestro
Thanks!😎👍🏼
Wow! Btw who does your editing? It's very well done
I do all the editing myself.😎👍🏼
Awesome and very informative videos buddy but how much do you charge m2 for driveways I’m looking to start doing driveways as an add-on my business
There is a video on how to quote for driveways in the Pressure Washing playlist.😃👍🏼
And I love your Content
Thanks!😃👍🏼

I've seen your videos where your using the ionic constant flow cleaning gutters ect with the spray nozzle from da components do you think the Gardiner back pack will work using the same nozzle? Many thanks Lee
Yes, definitely! And the Gardiner backpack is much cheaper too! I would definitely recommend it.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh many thanks ash I will be purchasing these parts now thanks for taking the time to get back to me. Happy new year

What brand hose you use do you use for your high pressure cleaner
Hi ash
Do you have a link for the nlite square edge brush you was using for the gutters and soffit cleaning please as I can only fine the nlite radius one with the long green bristles.
Cheers buddy. 👍

Any reason for using the dirt breaker as it didn't look to bad, I'd of thought the day tool would of been OK for this job
When the muck in the gutter is so dry it can be a little tricky. You may need to kind of break it up into smaller pieces as you go so the machine can suck it up. It’s easier when it’s wet really.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I've just invested in the skyvac atom, I love it well worth the money.
Great! Nice one!😃👍🏼
Great jo! what’s pressure washer do you use?
Or which you recommend?
Rodriges2603 Piccaso Check out the playlists on my channel, there is loads more information on the pressure washing kit I use there.😃👍🏼
Ash how would you charge for paving cleaning 🤷♂️ I am just getting into trade thanks
£3/4 per square meter. Check out the playlists on my channel. 😜👍🏼
Which brush from Gardiner would you use for gutters and fascias instead of the Unger Nlite square brush ?
Le coup de raclette.NET I also use the Gardiner Super Lite sill brush with flocked bristles sometimes. It’s pretty good for fascias.😃👍🏼
They have it in the he cladding brushes section 😃👍🏼 gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/sill-brush-24cm-single-trim-flocked.html
What solution do u use for the cleaning guttering
Upvc cleaner that I get from bonnymans.co.uk 😃👍🏼
On the pressure washer do you use normally a quarter turn ?
Not sure what you mean?
On the back pressure nob ?
I always use maximum pressure.😃👍🏼

Hiya, was you using hot water for the pressure washing?
No, I use a standard cold water pressure washer.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh sorry 1 more question...see you are using the pick up from a water container, is the pick up able to draw more water than an outide tap?
👍🏻
😃👍🏼
